What We Do

Our Mission

The Conservation Fund forges partnerships to conserve America’s legacy of land and water resources. Through land acquisition, sustainable programs and leadership training, the Fund and its partners demonstrate balanced conservation solutions that emphasize the integration of economic and environmental goals.

Protecting America's Land Legacy: Central to our mission, The Conservation Fund partners with government agencies and nonprofit organizations to acquire and conserve land across the country—forever protecting wildlife habitat, working landscapes, recreation areas, community green space and historic sites.

Strengthening Conservation in Local Communities: The Fund works with the public and private sectors to demonstrate sustainable solutions to complex natural resource issues through land-use planning, natural resource-based economic development and the application of innovative scientific research and technology.

Training the Next Generation of Conservation Leaders: Through its courses, workshops and seminars, the Fund provides collaborative learning experiences and approaches for diverse constituencies to constructively address conservation objectives and achieve on-the-ground results.

Providing Turnkey Conservation Services: Offering turnkey solutions, The Conservation Fund delivers real estate, strategic conservation, mitigation and land advisory services to corporations, private landowners and communities nationwide.

Recognizing and Funding Excellence in Conservation: In honor of champions of the environment and to encourage and support local conservation successes, the Fund partners with corporations, foundations and individuals to recognize outstanding leadership in conservation through award and grant programs.
